Reflecting on SchoolMint’s Journey

Shauntel has worked with SchoolMint founders Jinal Jhaveri and Forum Desai over the past 4 years and has admired their passion, persistence, and execution. After experiencing the headache of enrolling their own daughter in pre-school, Jinal and Forum set out to build a best-in-class student enrollment solution that supports school leaders, empowers families, and strengthens communities.

In this blog, Shauntel expresses that SchoolMint’s success to date is the result of a multitude of factors, including key operational decisions at critical growth junctures. From her perspective as an early stage edtech investor, the following three decisions stand out as unique to SchoolMint’s ability to weave impact and high-growth together to create a modern, best-in-class company. 1) an unwavering commitment to serve all populations 2) the development of a product that meets the needs of both charters and districts 3) a focus on building a diverse and inclusive organization.
